These Growing babies of ours...

It's unreal that Rhett is 4 months old now (will be 18 weeks old this friday actually)! He's such a happy, feisty, vivacious, semi-laid back, sweet little man. He had his 4 month WBV (well baby visit) on Friday and he's still in the 96% for height (he's 27" long now) and is 16 lbs (which he's in the 66% now for that where he was in the 84% range; Dr. said it's cause he's WAY more active now). He got 4 shots and one orally and he DID NOT like them at all, but who does?! He's doing sooo well! He's a big boy, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Dr. Tracie Calloway, who was my twirling buddy all through Jr. High and High School, is THE BEST pediatrician there is in my book and it's so fun getting to see her so often now! She told us we could start introducing rice/oatmeal cereal to him so
I've tried it twice and both times he only tolerates MAYBE 3-4 bites and
is done. It taste NASTY and really has no nutritional value so I think
I'm just going to wait til we can give him baby food in 2 months. He's
still EBF (exclusively breast fed) and is doing remarkably well! I never
dreamed I'd be breast feeding still after only being able to for 7
weeks w/ Shelby. The only difficulty I find now is finding a place to BF
him when we are out and it's time. He nurses every 3 hours, unless
he's going through a leap or growth spurt, then it's on demand. This boy
loves to eat! :) LOL...

you're gonna feed me what from where? Umm Momma....that's not how this works..

He's also gotten SOO MUCH BETTER about his car seat. He absolutely does not like it but the last few weeks he's tolerated it and there's been less and less screaming, mad, fits going on back there. Now they're less and far between when I'm sitting in the seat next to his but when I'm driving, there's still usually a chance he will cry. Young Living Essential Oils Peace & Calming and Lavender oil is used QUITE often when we go for car rides! :) LOL....

It's funny to see how the two babies are so similar at this age!!Poor Rhett, his toys are "inherited" from Shelby.. she didn't really like this toy but he sure does!

4 months old! 7/7/14

Well I cannot blog about just ONE kid now.. lol...
can you believe how much she's grown in a year?! OMG
This was Shelby's first day of PreK last July...

1st day of PreK July 2013

This was Shelby on Friday.. O M G...

I cannot believe in just a month she will be starting Kindergarten!

Shelby had a fun week of VBS with her BFF, Joci at her church!

Rhett on the other hand didn't know why he couldn't go to VBS

love seeing my babies play together... can't wait to see how they "play" together in the future...i'm sure there will be hair pulling and "MOOOmmmmaaa! He's ______ my toys!"

Little man has grown A LOT in just 4 months.....
